Mgerge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core
To sync headers, for instance, in this case tools/perf was ahead of upstream till Linus merged tip/perf/core to get the PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE changes: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

+What: /sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier
+Date: May 2020
+Contact: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com>
+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../waiting_for_supplier attribute is only
+ present when fw_devlink kernel command line option is enabled
+ and is set to something stricter than "permissive". It is
+ removed once a device probes successfully (because the
+ information is no longer relevant). The number read from it (0
+ or 1) reflects whether the device is waiting for one or more
+ suppliers to be added and then linked to using device links
+ before the device can probe.
+
+ A value of 0 means the device is not waiting for any suppliers
+ to be added before it can probe. A value of 1 means the device
+ is waiting for one or more suppliers to be added before it can
+ probe.
